Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured legal services for its organisation. The requirement is described as the provision of legal services, covering business services in the law sector (CPV 79000000). The work is categorised as a service and is associated with Lincoln, Lincolnshire, and delivery across England. The buying organisation is Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, based in Lincoln. This is a broad legal-services requirement rather than a defined works or goods contract, so it is relevant to law firms able to provide the range of legal support required by an NHS foundation trust and to operate across the stated delivery area. The procurement was intended for an established business supplier rather than an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had a minimum estimated value of £130,000 and a maximum estimated value of £390,000. The contract was awarded to Browne Jacobson LLP for £390,000 on 1 June 2026. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 May 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. The award was active when recorded. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract value; there were no lots or separate awards requiring comparison. The process therefore demonstrates a framework-based route for appointing legal-services suppliers to the trust.

This award is useful market evidence for established legal practices tracking NHS demand in Lincolnshire and England. A credible future competitor would need to deliver legal services at organisational scale, understand the requirements of an NHS foundation trust, and be able to work across the stated area. The route to market is also significant: the buyer used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, so firms seeking similar work would need access to an appropriate framework and the capability to compete through its call-off process. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community or social enterprises. Firms should therefore assess their scale, public-sector delivery capability and framework position against this requirement.
